This section centralises information relating to Jamaica's national trade policy. Government trade policy overviews, national development strategy papers as well as information on agreements, regulations, standards, and the investment climate are also presented in this section.
Jamaica's trade policy is clearly not developed in isolation, but rather within a regional and global trade context. Over the years, the number of commitments derived from participation in the World Trade Organisation (WTO), as well as CARICOM, and other regional trade fora has increased. As such, documents that provide some insight into these regional and global policy frameworks have been included.

National Trade Policy

"... Jamaica is actively engaged in the negotiation of multilateral, regional and bilateral trade agreements as a means of securing its trade interests and enhancing trade performance. In these agreements it seeks to remove tariff and non-tariff barriers on products of interest to Jamaica in asymmetrical arrangements with trading partners. It seeks also to facilitate measures to address supply-side constraints thereby facilitating improved productivity and competitiveness in both the domestic and export markets."Goverment Report to the WTO 2005
